Abstract
A excreta disposal apparatus is customized to a human body and includes a body having a seating unit, which has a shape corresponding to the curved shape of the genital area and buttocks of the human body and also has a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body so as to take excreta discharged from the human body. A main body unit, which is connected to the seating unit, is mountable between the legs of the human body and has a receiving space therein. A discharge channel is provided in the receiving space and communicates with the disposal space to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to the outside.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThe invention claimed is:
1. An excreta disposal apparatus customized to a human body, the apparatus comprising:
a body comprising
a seating unit, which has a shape corresponding to a curved shape of a genital area and buttocks of the human body and also has a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body so as to take excreta discharged from the human body, the disposal space comprising a feces disposal unit corresponding to a hip of a human body,
a main body unit, which is connected to the seating unit so as to be mounted between legs of the human body and has a receiving space therein,
and an extension portion extending from the seating unit and configured to support the buttocks of the human body, the extension portion being configured to be adhered to a cleaved portion of the buttocks of the human body, and has a height that is decreased when progressing from a rear side to a front side and is decreased when progressing from a center to a side thereof;
a urine disposal unit corresponding to the genital area of the human body configured to receive and discharge urine into an auxiliary discharge channel;
a discharge channel, which is provided in the receiving space and communicates with the disposal space and the auxiliary discharge channel so as to discharge the excreta in the disposal space and the urine in the urine disposal unit through an excreta flow tube to an outside of the disposal space;
a fastening member which is provided around the seating unit and adapted to be in contact with a user's body at one or more contact areas, and each contact area has an inclination corresponding to a curvature inclination of a corresponding human body part; and
a pad detachably attached to surround a periphery of the seating unit, wherein the fastening member is formed to be stepped by a predetermined height corresponding to a thickness of the pad from the rear side of the extension portion.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the disposal space comprises the urine disposal unit.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the extension portion is formed in such a manner that a recessed groove is formed in a position corresponding to a coccyx of the human body.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a width of an upper portion of the body is narrower than a width of a lower portion of the body.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a through hole is formed in a rear side of the main body unit so that at least one of the excreta flow tube or a washing water feed pipe can be inserted into the receiving space.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a spraying portion exposed to the disposal space and configured to spray washing water.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a flow channel switching unit provided in the receiving space and configured to supply washing water from a washing water feed pipe to the spraying portion via a solenoid valve.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an air blowing unit provided in the receiving space and configured to blow dry air to the disposal space.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a detection sensor provided in the disposal space and configured to detect excreta.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fastening member is comprised of a first part and a second part, the first part attached to the feces disposal unit and the second part attached to the urine disposal unit.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more contact areas comprise:
a buttocks contact area adapted for contact with user's buttocks; and
a thigh contact area extending from both sides of the buttocks contact area and adapted for contact with the inside of user's thigh.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the buttocks contact area has a buttocks contact surface adapted for contacting the human body.
13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the thigh contact area has a thigh contact surface adapted for contacting the human body.Cited by (0)
